TEE EXPOSITION,

The preparations for the opening of
the Exposition are being pushed for
Ward, and from present appearances
it is safe to assume that it will be one
of the finest that has ever taken place
on this continent. General Manager
Palmer is busily engaged in allotting
the location and space for the exhibit
ors, and The only difficulty he expe-
rie ces is that he has not half enough
space at hls disposal to meet the de-
n1and. The success OF last years expo
sition has awakened a greatei, interest
in the one Of this season. This is just
as it should be. Nothing can SO well
advertise the resources Of the North
west, and the amount expended is
triiling in COMPARISON with the object
to be achieved.

THE Sligo Champion of recent date
says: 'It is hard to see poor Irish girls
bidding farewell to their 3arast and
dearest relatives. During the past
week large numbers have taken their
departure from the different railway
stations between Sligo and Enniskillen,
via Derry, for the ''LaId of the Brave
and the Free.' In fact the lamenta-
tions Of the deprived parents seem to be
an echo of the meanings OF the Egyp.

were slain. On the other hand, it
would make one feel proud OF theil

such warmth of heart and affection
thereby proving to the world at large

TORY HYPOCRISY

Where Benjamin Dlsraell described
the British Tory party as al cor anlzed
Hypocrisy he enunciated truth which
has been abundantly attested by facts.
The people Of England have long
ceased to be surprised at the utter lack
of principle evinced by those who shape
the shifting and inconsistent policies
pursued by the party led by Lord Sails
bury to-day. The Conservatives OF tie
Continent, however. .whotake but a feeble
and, SO to speak, an intermittent inter
est in foreign politics, find it difficult at
times to make out The real character OF
their British political brethren. Thus
the Paris Uniyers. a respectful bic and
old-estabhshed Conservative organ, is
sorely perplexed at the reception ac'
corded to the Garibaldian deputation by
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland,
to whom 1hey had gone to present. the
first samples of a medal struck in honor
of Garibaldi's exploits at Marsala. The
proceedings took place at Stafford
House, where Garibaldi was once
treated with enthusiastic hospital
ity. and compliments were exchanged
in profusion, The Univers is shocked
that the conduct Of the noble owners OF
Stafford House should appear quite
natural to the aristocratic upholders
Of British Conservatism, and expresses
it's inability to comprehend how party
which openly sympathizes with revolu
ton on the continent should villipenc
and persecute the Irishmen who con
stitutionally demand that justice an1
freedom be granted to their country
The Montreal True Witness says the
Uniyers evidently knows little about
British Conservatism.

MR,. GLADsTONE'S POWER,

At no time in the history OF England
has the voice Of one man welded a
greater influence than does that Of Mr
Gladstone at the present time. Every
word that falls from his lips is felt
throughout the length ard breadth Of
England and the effect is something
marvellous. Tt is related Of Dean
Swift that he changed the policy OF a
British political party in one night, but
that was on q question Of MINOR i'm
portance. Mr.. Gladstone cannot change
the policy of the Tory Government in
one night, but he can expose the fallacy
Of its Irish policy in dozen sentences.
We compile the following from speech
he recently delivered at u banquet
given in his honor. It will be sean
thaE he handled the Liberal Unionists
without gloves. Parliament, said Mr.
Gladstone. was uot allowed to deal with
the question Of Home Rule, bnt was
confined to the discussion of the
Coercion bill and all that Lord Hart
ington had doi1e--after ,he many -four
ishes he had ulaele--was to E,ropose a
committee for the consideration Of the
Irish question, from which had been
excluded the Irish cOInn0nerS. II was
somewhat remarkable, too, that Lord
harrington utters all his warnings
against Home Rule outside OF the
House. because be does not want to de-
lay tina progress of the CoeI cinn bill b.
bringing up the question inside, aud
thus provoking debate.
Mr, Gladstone called attention to his
prediction that unless the Irish qles-
tion was settled Parliament would find
great difficulty in performing its duty
towards England and Scotland. That
prediction, he remarked. has been more
than verified; for such, a point has
been reached that noe only does Ire
land monopolize the time Of Parlja-
ment, out Parliament is incapable OF
dealing with tie whole Irish question.
Home Rule. said Mr. Gladstone, is tbs:
lFSt AIiSli COLelOfGlht Ditt I!C ot!C do"
tempts to prosecute it within the
House, and during weeks and months
hardly word has beer said on this fun
danenta} principle. But tile Salisbury
Government is not III the least cou'
cerned on the question Of Home lSule.
| That principle will never be conceded
SO say the Torres all and so say Ha,t-
| ington aud Chamberlain and there is
no remedy for the evil hnt patience, and
seIf-yeliance on tbe pait OF the Liberal
masses. They are coming round by de
grees: and When the next elections oc'
cur the Democracy Of Great Britain
| will render a verdict that will satisfac'
torily settle the question Of Home Rnle.
| The splendid victory at Sra|diDg is d
happy augury Of future success.
| 1T is now very evident that the Lib
eral Unionists fully realize that they
committed serious bluuder by de-
serting MI. Gladstone.

BOSTON REPUBLIC: John Dillon is
satisfied with. the plan Of campaign,
and we'll he may be. 1t has been in
operation about six months, and has
been found a most effective weapon Of
defence. Dillon told his associates
the last week of June that although
there were some sincere patriots who
objected to the plan as too moderate Il
policy, the rank and file Of the National
League believed with himself that the
results Of its operation were an un-
ansWerable argument in it's favor.
Dillon holds to the maxim that good
2eneralship, whether in fighting armed
foes OF equally hostile rackrenters, is to
win the battle with as little loss of life
as possible, and he long ago realized
that this plan is policy that enables
the irish tenants to protect themselves
With the least risk of danger to them
selves and their representatives. No
one who knows the character of the in
trepid member FOR East Mayo need be
told that he would be the last of the
Parnell legion to falter if extrs me mea-
snres were the only available ones
Happily such has not been the case.
Extreme movements are warranted
only by extreme necessity, and, bad as
the state of things is in Ireland, that
necessity has not yet arisen.
